---- ALLAN'S PERSPECTIVE ---- The left wing drives me crazy, and the right wing scares the shit out of me!

Allan's Perspective is not recommended for the politically correct, or the overly religious! Some people have opinions, and some have convictions ..., what we offer is Perspective!

Happy Easter!

Allan's Perspective

Happy Easter everyone! (Boy, they sure got a strange way of celebrating it down in the States!)

This being an important religious weekend for Christians and Jews,
President Obama took a break from his typically-partisan Saturday radio
address to offer Easter and Passover greetings.

“These holy days have their roots in miracles that took place long ago,” Obama said.
“And yet, they still inspire us, guide us, and strengthen us today.
They remind us of our responsibilities to God and, as God’s children,
our responsibilities to one another. “

Then, Sen. Lamar Alexander, on behalf of the Republican Party, gave his Easter Greetings from the G.O.P!

Sen. Alexander declared that “lifting the big wet
blanket of Obama regulations will enable our free enterprise system to
create plenty of jobs.”

Obama then observed that “The common thread of humanity that connects
us all – not just Christians and Jews, but Muslims and Hindus and Sikhs
– is our shared commitment to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.”

“Health care provides the most glaring difference between Republican enablers and Democrat mandators,” he said.
“Too often, Obamacare cancels the policy you wanted to keep and tells
you what policy to buy, even if it costs more and even if it restricts
your choices of doctors and hospitals.”“Republicans believe that freedom and more choices will empower you
to find a policy that fits your needs and your budget,” the Tennessee
Republican said.

Alexander did manage to add a postscript appropriate to the season: “Thank you and very best wishes on this Easter weekend.”
It’s not that Republicans are irreligious, folks, – far from it, at least in terms of church attendance, according to polls.
They’re more likely to attend regular religious services than Democrats.
BUT!
It’s just that when you’re out of power – lost five out of the last
six presidential votes – you’re a little more inclined to go after the
guy in the White House!
